Hello,
is it possible to mount CVS/SVN repository as filesystem?
a. why would you want to? (the whole idea is that you _dont_ edit files directly in the repository)
b. this is a php mailinglist not a cvs mailinglist. ;-)
regards,
Bostjan

I can definitely vouch for Subversion. I'm using it for all my PHP
stuff. I'd not used cvs a great deal, but I'd always found it awkward
and svn is certainly easier.
The home page is here: http://subversion.tigris.org/ The documentation
(an online O'Reilly book) is excellent. It's pretty easy to learn
(shares most basic commands with cvs), and there are many helper apps
to work with it, not least TortoiseSVN which looks and works just like
TortoiseCVS. I'm on OSX with OpenBSD and Linux servers and it's been
easy to get it working over HTTPS. There are some OSX clients (notably
svnx), but I find that once you figure out the commands, the command
line interface is very easy to work with.
Consensus seems to be that if you're just starting out in version
control, go straight to svn so you can skip all the reasons that made
them want an upgrade from cvs!

another CVS/SVN helper-application is smartSVN (or smartCVS for CVS):
http://www.smartsvn.com/ (http://www.smartcvs.com/ for CVS). Those
applications are really nice, personally I find that they are far easier
to handle than tortoiseCVS(/SVN)
